+## Quick Start
 
-Workers are background processes that execute your workflows. Start one in a
-separate process or the same one as your app:
+Prerequisites:
 
-```ts
-const worker = ow.newWorker();
-await worker.start();
+- Node.js
+- PostgreSQL (and/or SQLite)
+
+### 1. Install
+
+Install and set up OpenWorkflow with:
+
+```bash
+npx @openworkflow/cli init
 ```
 
-### 4. Run workflows from your app
+The CLI will prompt for your backend, installs dependencies, and generates:
+`openworkflow.config.ts`, `openworkflow/hello-world.ts`, `.env`, `.gitignore`,
+and a `worker` script.
 
-Trigger workflows from your web server, API, or any application code:
+### 2. Start a worker
 
-```ts
-// In your API route handler
-app.post("/users/:id/welcome", async (req, res) => {
-  // Run the workflow async and do not wait for the result
-  const runHandle = await sendWelcomeEmail.run({ userId: req.params.id });
-  res.json({ runId: runHandle.workflowRun.id });
-});
+```bash
+npm run worker
+# or
+npx @openworkflow/cli worker start
 ```
 
+This runs the worker using `openworkflow.config.ts` and auto-loads workflows
+from the configured directories (default: `openworkflow/`).
+
+### 3. Run workflows from your app
+
+Edit the generated workflow file and run it from your application code using the
+OpenWorkflow client APIs (see examples below).
+
 That's it. Your workflow is now durable, resumable, and fault-tolerant.

 ### Workers
 
 Workers are long-running processes that poll your database for pending workflows
-and execute them. You can run multiple workers for high availability and scale.
+and execute them. Run workers via the CLI so workflow discovery stays in sync
+with your `openworkflow.config.ts`:
+
+```bash
+npm run worker
+# or
+npx @openworkflow/cli worker start
+```
+
+Or, for more control, you can write your own workers:
 
 ```ts
+import { BackendSqlite } from "@openworkflow/backend-sqlite";
+import { OpenWorkflow } from "openworkflow";
+
+const backend = BackendSqlite.connect("openworkflow/backend.db");
+const ow = new OpenWorkflow({ backend });
+
 const worker = ow.newWorker({ concurrency: 20 });
 await worker.start();
